A case of fulminating group A beta–hæmolytic streptococcal septicæmia is described. This case illustrated both the early and the late manifestations of severe streptococcal infection — that is, the early suppurative invasive lesions and the late hypersensitivity reactions. The management of these complications is discussed.
